Baby Ridge Hat

This is probably my favorite hat so far.  I made a similar one for my older brother that was all green.  So, when I made a baby hat version I just added some fun colors to it.

I figured the baby would be wearing it in the fall, so I chose fall colors for this one.

Above are the colors that are in between the brown ridges, that you cannot see on the first picture.  But when the baby wears it, the hat will stretch out to where they can be seen.

Baby Basketweave Hat

Basketweave Hat I made for Baby

Here is one of the many hats I made for the baby.  It is such a cute design.  I found the pattern online here.  Her hat looks a little differnt than mine, b/c I used different size needles and she used a shinier yarn.  And I love the shine, but I didn't want to make it shiny just in case I had a boy.  He may not appreciate that from Mommy very much.

Bowtie Baby Hat

Well, I'm about to have another niece in about a month.  So, it is baby-knitting season at my house! I love this Baby Bowtie pattern and it can be found here for free.  The only changes I have made are that instead of the first few rows in garter stitch, I changed it to stockinette stitch so that it will roll up and make a cute brim.  The wrong side of the stockinette stitch is what you see rolled up as the brim.  I also used circular needles instead of DPNs.
